In some projects, researchers may define lineages below the level of species. In modern terminology, we can call them "intraspecific lineages" but for the program we will use the term "subspecies" which is more established in syntaxes such as DarwinCore.
If such units are defined, then can be useful to summarize in all-against-all comparisons also the encountered distances between them. This applies specifically to the graphs and summary statistics. In the histograms, the category "intra-species" would be replaced by two new categories:
intra-species (same intraspecific lineage)
intra-species (different intraspecific lineages)
This function would be optional (the user must select it - by default not selected) only be available for tab-delimited input files in which a column "subspecies" would be present.
To avoid excessive complexity of graphs, this function would NOT be available if the function calculating sister species (see issue #4) is activated.
